Guess what I’m doing next year.
Dear Mr. Lafferty: It is my pleasure to inform you that the M.B.A Admission Committee, at the University of Ottawa, has approved your acceptance for the 2007-2008 academic year. Woo! I’m in! Classes start August 20. They played a little trick on me, sending my acceptance letter in a thin envelope (usually, thick envelope means […]

ring ring ring ring ring
Yay, my phone works now, in both directions! And I’ve got my Bluetooth headset and voice dialing working, which is neat — unlike my previous phone, voice control on the RAZR doesn’t require any training, it just understands. My BlackBerry supports bluetooth headsets but doesn’t do voice dialing, which is just a bit impractical. I’m […]

My Firefox plugins
I finally got around to upgrading to Firefox 2 yesterday. When it first came out, I upgraded, found that 90% of my plugins hadn’t been updated yet, and then promptly went back to 1.5. I figured it was finally time to give it another shot, and as I’d hoped all of the plugins I needed […]

Getting back on track.
I feel like I’ve got a lot to say about the last few years and my plans for the next few, but it’s hard to know where to start. I’ll try starting here: I’m beginning to recognize that for the past few years I’ve been dealing poorly with actual capital-D Depression. I know, I know, […]

Official GMAT scores
I received my official GMAT scores this morning. Nothing’s changed from my unofficial ones, of course, but I also now have my Analytical Writing score: 6.0 (out of 6, 95th percentile). Yay! I knew that the writing section went well because it’s just not that hard, but still, it’s nice to have aced it rather […]

My missing photodocumentary
I have a nice camera. It’s easy to use, takes good pictures (after a couple of repairs, sigh), and it’s very portable. So portable, in fact, that I could take it places I go, and when I’m there I could take pictures with it. Yet my flickr account runs dry, other than the wedding and […]
